BACKGROUND

1. Field

The described technology relates generally to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display.

2. Description of the Related Technology

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) includes two electrodes and an organic emission layer. The organic emission layer is disposed between the two electrodes. Electrons injected from one electrode and holes injected from the other electrode are combined in the organic emission layer. As such, excitons are formed and light is emitted by energy generated from the excitons.

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel having at least one organic light emitting diode (OLED) of a self-light emitting element. Each pixel further includes a plurality of transistors and a plurality of capacitors to drive the organic light emitting diode (OLED). The plurality of transistors include a switching transistor and a driving transistor.

A driving transistor flows a current of one magnitude through a driving semiconductor layer. As such, a compensation transistor for compensating a threshold voltage and a light emission control transistor for controlling light emitting may provide another current of the same magnitude. In order to quickly compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor when a length of the driving semiconductor layer of the driving transistor is short, an s-factor of a transistor characteristic curve decreases and a change rate of the current increases according to a change of the voltage applied to the driving gate electrode. As such, a large current is provided to the organic light emitting diode (OLED). However, this may cause spots. In contrast, when the length of the driving semiconductor layer of the driving transistor is long enough to prevent the spots, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is slowly compensated by a small current such that low grayscale compensation is not obtained and the spots are generated.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the described technology and therefore it disclosed technology contains information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INVENTIVE ASPECTS

One inventive aspect relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display having a reduced leakage current of a compensation transistor. More particularly, a low grayscale spot of the organic light emitting diode display is prevented by decreasing a threshold voltage of the compensation transistor.

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display according to an exemplary embodiment includes: a substrate, a scan line formed on the substrate and configured to transmit a scan signal, a data line configured to intersect the scan line and to transmit a data signal, a switching transistor connected to the scan line and the data line, a driving transistor connected to a switching drain electrode of the switching transistor, a compensation transistor connected to the driving transistor an aging transistor connected to a driving drain electrode of the driving transistor and a source electrode of the compensation transistor, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) connected to a driving drain electrode of the driving transistor. The compensation transistor is configured to compensate a threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The aging transistor is configured to perform an aging process for reducing a leakage current of the compensation transistor.

A light emission control transistor that is turned on by a light emission control signal transferred by a light emission control line to transfer the driving voltage from the driving transistor to the organic light emitting diode may be further included, and the light emission control transistor may be positioned between the driving drain electrode and the organic light emitting diode (OLED).

The compensation semiconductor layer may be split from a middle part of the driving semiconductor layer, and the light emission control semiconductor layer of the light emission control transistor may be connected to a driving drain region of the driving semiconductor layer.

The aging semiconductor layer of the aging transistor may connect a compensation semiconductor layer of the compensation transistor and the light emission control semiconductor layer.

The aging gate electrode of the aging transistor may overlap the aging semiconductor layer.

The compensation gate electrode of the compensation transistor may include a first compensation gate electrode and a second compensation gate electrode separated from each other.

A storage capacitor connected between the driving voltage line and the driving gate electrode of the driving transistor may be further included, and the storage capacitor may include a first storage capacitive plate formed with the same layer as the driving semiconductor layer and a second storage capacitive plate overlapping the first storage capacitive plate and formed with the same layer as the scan line.

A boosting capacitor connected to the storage capacitor may be further included, and the boosting capacitor may include a first boosting capacitive plate extended from the first storage capacitive plate, and a second boosting capacitive plate overlapping the first boosting capacitive plate and extended from the scan line.

The first boosting capacitor plate may have a hammer shape, and the first boosting capacitor plate may include a handle portion parallel to the driving voltage line and a head portion formed at the end of the handle portion.

According to the exemplary embodiment, the compensation semiconductor layer is split from the middle part of the driving semiconductor layer, and in a short pass diode structure in which the light emission control semiconductor layer of the light emission control transistor is connected to the driving drain region of the driving semiconductor layer, the aging transistor connecting the driving drain electrode of the driving transistor and the source electrode of the compensation transistor is formed, and thereby the aging process for removing the leakage current of the compensation transistor may be easily performed.

Also, in a short pass diode structure, by forming the aging gate electrode of the aging transistor to overlap the aging semiconductor layer, a short pass through which the current quickly flows from the driving semiconductor layer to the compensation semiconductor layer in the compensation period in which the scan line is turned on is formed such that the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor may be quickly compensated, and a long pass through which the current flows from the driving semiconductor layer to the light emission control semiconductor layer in the light emitting period in which the scan line is turned off is formed such that the driving range of the driving semiconductor layer is widened, thereby preventing the stains.

Therefore, the initialization transistor T4 may perform an initialization operation of initializing the voltage of the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1.

In another exemplary implementation, the other end Cst2 of the storage capacitor Cst is connected to the driving voltage line 172. A cathode of the organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be connected to a common voltage ELVSS.

Hereinafter, an operation process of one pixel of the organic light emitting diode display according to one exemplary embodiment will be described in detail.

First, the prior scan signal Sn−1 at a low level may be supplied through the prior scan line 122 during an initialization period. Then, the initialization transistor T4 may be turned on corresponding to the prior scan signal Sn−1 at the low level. The initialization voltage Vint may be supplied from the initialization voltage line 124 through the initialization transistor T4 to the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1. The driving transistor T1 may be initialized by the initialization voltage Vint.

Subsequently, the scan signal Sn at the low level may be supplied through the scan line 121 during a data programming period. Then, at least one of the switching transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T3 may be turned on corresponding to the scan signal Sn at the low level.

In this case, the driving transistor T1 may be diode-connected by the turned-on compensation transistor T3 and biased in a forward direction.

Then, a compensation voltage of Dm+Vth may be applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1. The compensation voltage may be obtained by subtracting a threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1 from the data signal Dm. The data signal Dm may be supplied from the data line 171. The threshold voltage Vth may be a negative value.

The driving voltage ELVDD and the compensation voltage of Dm+Vth may be applied to both ends of the storage capacitor Cst. A charge corresponding to a difference between voltages at both ends may be stored in the storage capacitor Cst.

Next, if the voltage level of the scan signal Sn is changed into a high level and the supply of the scan signal Sn is stopped, the voltage applied to the gate electrode G1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 may be changed corresponding to the change width of the voltage of the scan signal Sn by the coupling of the boosting capacitor Cb. At this time, the voltage applied to the gate electrode G1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 may be changed by charge sharing between the storage capacitor Cst and the boosting capacitor Cb. As such, the change amount of the voltage applied to the driving gate electrode G1 may be proportional to the charge sharing value between the storage capacitor Cst and the boosting capacitor Cb as well as the change width of the voltage of the scan signal Sn.

Subsequently, a level of the light emission control signal En may be changed from a high level to a low level. The light emission control signal En is supplied from the light emission control line 123 during the light emission period. Then, the operation control thin film transistor T5 and the light emission control thin film transistor T6 may be turned on by the light emission control signal En of the low level during the light emission period.

Then, the driving current Id may be generated according to a difference between the voltage of the gate electrode G1 of the driving thin film transistor T1 and the driving voltage ELVDD. The driving current Id may be supplied to the organic light emitting diode (OLED) through the light emission control thin film transistor T6. A gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor T1 may be maintained at “(Dm+Vth)-ELVDD” by the storage capacitor Cst during the light emission period. The driving current Id may be proportional to a square of a value that is obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage from a source-gate voltage, i.e., “(Dm-ELVDD)²,” according to a current-voltage relationship of the driving transistor T1. Accordingly, the driving current Id may be determined regardless of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1.

The initialization voltage line 124 may be formed in a row direction. At least one of the data line 171 and the driving voltage line 172 may cross all of the scan line 121, the prior scan line 122, the light emission control line 123, the initialization voltage line 124.

The red organic emission layer, the green organic emission layer and the blue organic emission layer may be respectively formed in a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel to implement a color image.

Further, the organic emission layer may implement the color image by laminating all of the red organic emission layer, the green organic emission layer and the blue organic emission layer in the red pixel, the green pixel and the blue pixel together, and by forming a red color filter, a green color filter and a blue color filter for each pixel. As another example, a white organic emission layer emitting light and having a white color may be formed in all of the red pixel, the green pixel and the blue pixel.

The compensation semiconductor layer 131 c may be split from the middle part of the driving semiconductor layer 131 a. The light emission control semiconductor layer 131 f of the light emission control transistor T6 may be connected to the driving drain region 177 a of the driving semiconductor layer 131 a such that a length of a first path CH1 from the driving semiconductor layer 131 a to the compensation semiconductor layer 131 c and another length of a second path CH2 from the driving semiconductor layer 131 a to the light emission control semiconductor layer 131 f are different from each other and thereby currents of different magnitudes may simultaneously flow. As described above, a structure in which the path lengths of the semiconductor layer are different is referred to as a short pass diode. The length of the first path CH1 may be shorter than the length of the second path CH2 such that a relatively larger current may flow in the first path CH1 and a relatively smaller current may simultaneously flow in the second path CH2. As described above, by using one driving transistor simultaneously transmitting the currents that have different magnitudes, the threshold voltage may be quickly compensated. Simultaneously the constant current may be provided to the organic light emitting diode (OLED) such that a current deviation between the driving transistors having a characteristic deviation may be reduced. As such, spots due to the magnitude difference of the current size may be prevented, and this driving operation will be described later.

The driving transistor T1 may charge the voltage corresponding to the data signal Dm to the storage capacitor Cst according to the scan signal Sn. The driving transistor T1 may provide the current corresponding to the voltage charged to the storage capacitor Cst to the organic light emitting diode (OLED). At this time, since the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 is changed according to the passage of time, the compensation transistor T3 diode may connect the driving transistor T1 according to the scan signal Sn to compensate the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1.

Accordingly, while the data signal Dm is transmitted, the relatively larger current flowing through the first path CH1 may quickly charge the storage capacitor Cst to a predetermined voltage (i.e., a compensation voltage) through the compensation transistor T3 such that the compensation of the threshold voltage Vth may be realized.

Also, the relatively smaller current flowing through the second path CH2 may be provided to the organic light emitting diode (OLED) through the light emission control transistor T6 such that the spots may be prevented. That is, since a change ratio of the current according to the change of the voltage applied to the driving gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 is small, a current control voltage width (i.e., a data swing range) may increase, and therefore the range of the data voltage expressing the gamma may increase. It may be possible to prevent stains caused by a difference between magnitudes of the currents by reducing a current deviation between the driving thin film transistors having a characteristic deviation (distribution).

Also, in a short pass diode structure, by overlapping the aging gate electrode 125 g of the aging transistor T7 to the aging semiconductor layer 131 g, the short pass through which the current fast flows from the driving semiconductor layer 131 a to the compensation semiconductor layer 131 c may be formed in the compensation period and the scan line 121 is turned on such that the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1 may be quickly compensated. In addition, the long pass through which the current flows from the driving semiconductor layer 131 a to the light emission control semiconductor layer 131 f may be formed in the light emitting period and the scan line 121 may be turned off such that the driving range of the driving semiconductor layer 131 a is widened and thereby stains are prevented.

The aging transistor T7 may connect the driving drain electrode 177 a of the driving transistor T1 and the source electrode 176 c of the compensation transistor T3 to each other.
